Agency Overviews, Recommendations and Detail: The information is organized in alphabetical order by agency.

Each service with General Funds also includes a “change table” which summarizes the changes from the Fiscal 2020 adopted appropriation to the Fiscal 2021 recommended funding level. The reader should note the following items in these tables: • Change in Employee Compensation and Benefits: The Fiscal 2021 budget assumes a pay freeze or furlough to be negotiated across all bargaining units. Other changes in compensation and benefits reflected in the tables are the result of thefillingof previously vacant positions; variance in longevity, step, performance, promotions, and cost of living increases received byem‐ ployees; and changes in the budget for overtime, contractual personnel, temporary and part‐time personnel, employee health plan enrollment choices, and other salary and benefit changes. • Centralization of Pay for Performance Allocation: The Fiscal 2021 budget centralizes Pay for Performance funding, whereas previously, it was allocated across all agencies with MAPS employees eligible to receive this incentive. Pay for Performance is allocated centrally in Miscellaneous General Expenses in Fiscal 2021. Eligible MAPS employees are awarded Pay for Performance funding as either a one‐time bonus or an increase in salary based on yearly performance reviews. The implementation ofthis program may be delayed in Fiscal 2021 pending new revenue projections as the economy recovers and pending negotiations with bargaining units concerning freezing pay or furloughs. The values reflected in the tables reflect the transfer of Pay for Performance allocations from each agency to a central budget location. • Adjustment for Active Employee Health Benefit Savings: The Fiscal 2021 budget assumes active employee health benefit savings, to be negotiated, beginning January 1, 2021. The values reflected in the tables in this category reflect the anticipated Citysavings for active employee health care premiums. • Adjustment for Fleet Rental, Repair, and Fuel Charges: Agency budgets include the cost of vehicle rental and maintenance through the Department of General Services. Vehicle rental costs decrease in Fiscal 2021 due

It includes high- and low-rise apartments, condos, row houses, and single-family homes. Few neigh- borhoods in Baltimore City have such varied housing stock or density. This architectural diversity is positive, but it can create issues that divide us. Our strength has been that we all support one another when a particular need in one part of our neighborhood becomes a serious issue. Calvert School's current request for approval to demolish Castalia, to raise the cap on enrollment at the school, and to tear down the former fraternity house at 3906 Canterbury and build an addition on that site to the school's cur- rent facility challenges our unity. Some Tuscany-Canterbury residents are Board of Directors deeply concerned about the Castalia issue; others believe that the main issue is Andrew Joseph (A. J.) O'Brien an increase in Tuscany Road traffic resulting from expanded enrollment; still oth- ers want Calvert's purchase of 3906 Canterbury and the proposed addition to President the school to be more clearly explained. Our Association must respond to all of (410) 235-6093 these concerns as a single package. As a result, it's important that each resi- [email protected] dent try to understand the different viewpoints on each of these matters so that so that we can present a unified position on all of them in our dealings with Carl Hyman Calvert.

With the streets rapidly filling with rotting garbage, the City Council was forced to hastily establish an alternate plan for disposing of its waste. As a short term plan, the Council decided to enter into a contract with a farmer who owned several wharves on Bear Creek in Baltimore County. The agreement specified that William F. Huse, the wharf owner, would buy the garbage from the City, the City would haul it to his wharves using scows, and from there it would be spread on farm land in the surrounding area as fertilizer. While the Council was considering its options for a temporary solution, local newspapers were publishing articles describing the situation and the alternatives being proposed.

  • How Baltimore Became the New York of the South: European Immigration Between 1867-1914 and the Development of Ethnic Neighborhoods Around the Port of Baltimore
    HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Ron Cassie Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 15, 2016 HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE Ron Cassie, MA Mentor: Charles Edward Yonkers, JD ABSTRACT Located 40 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Baltimore was the fourth – largest city in the U.S. and the largest in the South before the Civil War, serving as the economic hub of the Mid-Atlantic region. Although Baltimore was always home to a significant free black population, the city was centered in a largely slave-holding state. Although Maryland choose neither Union or Confederate sides during the Civil War before President Abraham Lincoln sent federal troops into Baltimore, the city’s port business in the middle of the 19th century focused on the rural exports of tobacco, cotton, grain, and flour; ship building; and the importation of sugar. Politically, economically, and culturally, Maryland was, at the time, a Southern state full of plantations from the Eastern Shore across the state’s central area around Baltimore. The city, however, was more a blend of white Southern and white Northern influences, a marginalized African-American citizenry, a significant group of German immigrants, and more recent Irish arrivals at the start of the Civil War.
